Hi, we are building an app where teachers and students join in the meeting, we will have 4 teachers who can host meetings separately within the application, I understand we will need 4 different user accounts, I also read that one zoom account can have multiple users, now what I wanted to know is, 1. Can I use one API key for the account for all the users within the account OR should I need separate API key for each users? 2. if One API key is possible, how the app can know which user is hosting? as far as I tested, the sample web sdk app allows any one to host but it allows only one host per app ? which means one host per API key ? 3. Can a pro account create more free users within the account? is there a limit in user creation in the pro account? can you please clarify, thanks! ---

Hey @integrine, thanks for posting and using Zoom! > [@integrine](#): > > Can I use one API key for the account for all the users within the account OR should I need separate API key for each users? Yes, for the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web), you only need one [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app). > [@integrine](#): > > if One API key is possible, how the app can know which user is hosting? as far as I tested, the sample web sdk app allows any one to host but it allows only one host per app ? which means one host per API key ? The app can know which user is hosting by the meeting id that is set. The Web SDK uses one set of JWT credentials and can host multiple simultaneous meetings. > [@integrine](#): > > Can a pro account create more free users within the account? is there a limit in user creation in the pro account? Yes. The limit is basically unlimited. Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi, I basically have the same question, but if instead of 4 people I have 500, i still only need one api key. Is there really no limit ? And what is the pricing for that one api key/JWT app ---

If all 500 are users on your Zoom account, they will be able to host meetings via the Web SDK (one api key) or Zoom App. > [@gabrielmyves](#): > > And what is the pricing for that one api key/JWT app To create and run the Web SDK, you need to have a [Pro or higher plan](https://zoom.us/pricing).

Hi Tommy, Can you tell how we can use one api key to let multiple users host meetings simultaneously. ---
